The South-East Fleet got the 2009 schedule rolling this month by hosting the Mids East. The south Florida weather was perfect with mostly flat water and wind that built from 8-10 up to 15-18 near the end of the day. Greg Berger retained his title by winning his 2nd Midwinters East in a row. Greg also won back-to-back Midwinter titles in 2003 and 2004.

Landmark crossing from Cabrillo Beach to Catalina Island

Megabyter Joe Motil and "Waterdog" (Megabyte #181) sailed from Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro across to Avalon on Catalina Island, CA on 6/28/08 – 6/29/08. The total round trip distance is approximately 59 miles. Although Joe had crossed the channel plenty of times on much larger boats he'd always wanted to try it on a smaller, single-sail monohull. We believe this crossing might be the first-ever in a Megabyte. Good on you, Joe! jm_1_388
